<h1>Moving objects on a graph report </h1>
<p>A graph report&rsquo;s layout depends on the location of report objects 
 on the grid of the report. For example, a grid report with its metrics 
 in the rows and attributes in the columns produces a different graph layout 
 than a grid report with the same metrics in the columns and attributes 
 in the rows. </p>
<p>You can select 
<a href="View_report_in_GG_view.htm">Grid and Graph</a> 
 view to see the grid and corresponding graph side-by-side. You can immediately 
 see how the corresponding graph changes when you make changes to the grid 
 layout.</p>
<h2>Warning</h2>
<p>Depending on the graph style in which your report is being displayed, 
 if you reposition attributes and metrics on your graph in a certain way 
 it is possible that the graph can no longer be displayed. When this occurs, 
 the system notifies you that the report contains insufficient data to 
 be displayed in the selected graph style. </p>
<p>See the table in 
<a HREF="Graph_style_requirements.htm">Minimum object 
 requirements for each graph style</a> for information about the requirements 
 for each graph style. Once you have determined that the graph style is 
 an appropriate choice, experiment with different ways to position the 
 attributes and metrics on the grid until the graph is generated in the 
 selected style.</p>
<h2>To move objects on a graph object</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Click the name of the graph report to execute it.</p></li>
